Conestoga junior midfielder Jordan Klunder has made a verbal commitment to play Division I lacrosse at Drexel University.

Conestoga junior Jordan Klunder has committed to Drexel

Klunder was a member of a Pioneers team last year that went 24-2 and claimed the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association championship. He plays club lacrosse for Mesa Fresh 2012.

Klunder will play for coach Brian Voelker at Drexel, which last year finished 10-5 and was ranked in the Top 15 most of the year.

At Drexel, Klunder will join his older brother, Jason, a freshman midfielder. His sister, Jaclyn, is also a senior on the Dragons’ women’s team. A first Honors student, Klunder plans to study business management.

“Jaclyn and Jason playing there had a big impact on me. I really enjoy being in the city,” Klunder said. “I always knew it was the best fit for me ever since I started going to my sister’s games.

“After a few visits and watching practice, I was sure I wanted to be a part of Coach Voelker’s program.”

Klunder is the second Conestoga junior to commit to Drexel this month. Middie Mike McGregor, also a player for Mesa Fresh 20102, committed just a few weeks ago. Also from Philly, Bishop Shanahan junior defenseman Chris Panichelli committed to Drexel in the fall.
